 Abuse Defined

​

 It's not always easy to tell at the beginning of a relationship if it will become abusive. In fact, many abusive partners may seem absolutely perfect in the early stages of a relationship. Possessive and controlling behaviors don't always appears overnight, but rather emerge and intensify as the relationship grows. Domestic violence doesn't look the same in every relationship because every relationship is different. But one thing most  abusive relationships have in common is that the abusive partner does many different kinds of things to have more power and control over their partners. If you are beginning to feel as if your partner or a loved one's partner is becoming abusive, there are few behaviors that you can look out for. Watch for these red flags if you are experiencing one or more of them in your relationship.
